Andy Williams was a big FAT LIAR; There were no Broken Bones (The MLS is Out to Stop Chivas From Winning)

By: David | April 28th, 2007

In another interesting turn of events, the Los Angeles Times reported today that x-rays on RSL player Andy Williams turned out to be negative, as there were no broken bones. So Williams was acting last Saturday and the MLS was fooled, causing them to suspend Sacha Kljestan for two games. But I would have to argue that the MLS was not fooled, as they knew what they were doing and were trying to fix this coming Saturday’s game by weakening Chivas. Just as was noted in the LA Times Article, “Although referee Hilario Grajeda saw nothing wrong with the tackle, which left Williams writhing on the ground in pain and sent him to the hospital for precautionary X-rays that showed no broken bones, Major League Soccer on Wednesday fined Kljestan $1,000 and suspended him two games for “serious foul play.” So what does this tell you? The MLS knew what they were doing, as Kljestan is a key player for Chivas and by keeping him out of this Saturday’s game it could potentially damage their chances against the gals.

Seeing that the x-rays came out negative and the response by the MLS makes me sick and question the validity and intention of the MLS. They have continually favored AEG and in doing so have been the sole reason this league is stumbling. Things like this will perpetuate the fragile nature of the MLS, causing soccer to continue being the bastard child of sports in this country. I put full blame on Don Garber and I believe it is time for him to step down. Just as Bruce Arena was forced out of the USMNT so as to help foster change and future growth, it is time for Mr. Garber to step down and let someone new take control. Mr. Garber has proven to be a very biased commissioner, who is holding back the potential of this league. People might disagree with this; however, everyone knows that he is no longer capable to run the MLS.

Mr. Garber do the right thing and step down!
